------------------------¤ All-time Top-Scorers in Top European Clubs: ( i still have to check these stats from more reliable sources and check other big club records):

- Bayern; 509 goals in 563 official games [Bundesliga, German Cup and European competitions] by Gerd Muller [1964–1979].
365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games, international record of 66 goals in 74 European Club games, 78 goals in 62 German Cup games.

- Arsenal: 229 goals in 376 games by Thierry Henry [1999-2007 and 2012].

- ACMilan; 221 goals in 268 games, Gunnar Nordahl [1949–1956].

Note: All the stats above include just OFFICIAL matches.

Messi didn't yet turn 25 :) Can he break these records?

Man you must have done a lot of research, yes he can why not as far as he doesn't bother about these and plays for the team.

Really can't see him scoring 500 goals tbh, but the others should be beatable.

True, 500+ needs a lot of consistency and he should satay fit/away from injuries...
he need almost 250 more goals.. let's say he'll play 6 more years at high level.. he needs an average of 40+ goals per season!!
but other records like Liga and UCL all-time topscorer, he has a gd chance to beat it.. if he stayed fit in the next 2-3 years...

- Messi won the European Golden Shoe with 50 goals (100pts) this season (2011-12) an all time record for Points in a single season.

Eusebio's and Müller's records are insane.

Müller, Eusebio, Sanchez, Puskas, that's some of the best strikers of all time. Müller is possibly the best goal scorer there is. Messi is another type of player, it'll be very difficult.

True its very very difficult to reach Muller's or Eusebio's record.. but you never know its Messi :)

He needs to score 248+ goals for Barcelona to reach 500+ goals... He's almost 25, it depend on 3 things:
- How many years will Messi play for Barca?
- If he stay fit and away from injuries...
- If he stay motivated...

Note: Gerd Muller's record for Bayern 573 goals in 616 official games (via rsssf).

Let's say 8 more years?
So he needs an average of 31+ goals a season for the next 8 years to reach 500+ goals for Barcelona.
2012-13 (25 years old): 60+
2013-2014 (26 years old): 55+
2014-2015 (27 years old): 50+
2015-2016 (28 years old): 45+
2016-2017 (29 years old): 40+
2017-2018 (30 years old): 30+
2018-2019 (31 years old): 25+
2019-2020 (32 years old): 20+

at this rate for example: in 8 years +325 goals ===> Total of 577+ goals for Barcelona at 32 years old :messi:
